The dental veneer procedure requires three dental visits: one for a consultation, and two additional procedures to make and apply the veneers.

The first step in obtaining veneers is planning a visit with Dr. Champagne for the dental veneers. During the initial appointment, Dr. Champagne examines a persons teeth to make sure dental veneers are appropriate. For example, a person who is seeking whiter teeth may not need veneers but in stead would benefit from teeth whitening.

After the initial consultation, a person will return to Dr. Champagnes office to make a mold or model of his or her teeth, which will be sent off to a dental laboratory to construct the veneers. In the lab, CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) technology constructs the veneers. After a week or two, a person will return to the dentist to have the veneers applied.

During the veneer application, Dr. Champagne temporarily places the veneer on the tooth to examine the color and fit. He may trim the veneer to properly fit it to the teeth.

Once the veneer is a perfect fit for the tooth, Dr. Champagne cleans and polishes the teeth to prepare the tooth for the veneer. Dr. Champagne positions the veneer on the tooth and uses a light beam to activate the cementing chemicals on the veneer to harden on the tooth. Dr. Champagne repeats the process if more teeth require veneers.

After the veneer is applied, Dr. Champagne removes excess cement, evaluates a persons bite, and makes any necessary adjustments.

A person may require a follow up visit to Dr. Champagne for evaluation of his or her bite, and how the person is adjusting to the new veneers.
